The capital city is large and full of diverse people. Song Ning is also young. What if she is deceived by some man and does something absurd?
Liu Yuelan initially believed her daughter, but then she thought that her daughter was still young and didn't understand some things, making her easily deceived by people with ill intentions.
Originally intending to ask for clarification, Liu Yuelan was furious when she discovered that Song Ning had lied.
If something really happens, how will they survive?
Song Ning was surprised by Liu Yuelan's strong reaction and quickly stepped forward to hold her hand.
“Mother, don’t you know what kind of person I am? I know my place and I won’t be fooled.”
Liu Yuelan said irritably, "I know you well enough. I trust you with everything you do, but this is the only thing I'm really worried about."
"You're still young. Those rich kids outside only prey on young girls like you. Your mother... your mother is worried."
They still vividly remember how infatuated their daughter was with the Zhou family's young master, but this time it was a young master from the capital, and no one could stand up for her if she was wronged.
"Mother, your daughter is very smart. Don't worry, not just anyone can fool me. I'll be fine."
"real?"
"Yes, really."
Liu Yuelan's expression softened considerably, and she asked seriously, "Then tell your mother, who is that man? Is he a young master from a wealthy family?"
Don't try to hide it from your mother. Everyone said that the man was wearing the finest fabrics, and his carriage was impressive; he clearly wasn't from an ordinary family.
Song Ning hesitated, but the truth could no longer be hidden.
"That person...that person is Xie Linzhou."
"Thank you...who did you say?" Liu Yuelan and Song Dahai were both stunned, forgetting their anger and worry from just now.
He then let out a long sigh: "Oh, it's General Xie. I thought... Why didn't you say so sooner?"
Song Ning was taken aback. Was this reaction a bit off?
Xie Linzhou is really trying to steal your cabbages.
"Father, Mother, are you really so comfortable with Xie Linzhou?"
Liu Yuelan finally smiled: "Of course. General Xie is a good man. He helped us a lot back then. Princess Jianing is also close to us. It's only right that the two of you get closer."
The key point is that Xie Linzhou is so much older than Song Ning, it's absolutely impossible for the two of them to be together.
What we're saying is, there's no need to be so at ease. Even the person you trust the most has been eyeing your daughter all along.
Song Dahai and Liu Yuelan were relieved. They had just been angry about this. Liu Yuelan quickly said with concern, "I was just anxious and made you suffer."
Before Song Ning returned, Liu Yuelan was so worried that she couldn't even drink water. Now she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Song Ning couldn't help but ask, "Mother, didn't you ever think that General Xie... might actually have other intentions?"
"What are you thinking?"
I really never even considered that direction.
"Xie Linzhou...he wants to marry me."
"Pfft!" Liu Yuelan spat out a mouthful of water, forgetting to cough. The three of them looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.
Is it really that hard to believe?
Xie Linzhou really cherishes her.
"Er Ya, don't scare your mother, this isn't funny."
Song Ning, in a fit of desperation, said, "Father, Mother, let me be frank with you, Xie Linzhou and I... have already made up our minds."
"What did you agree on?"
"Oh dear, Mother, how can you not understand? Xie Linzhou, he, he, he has taken a liking to your daughter."
Not only did she have her eye on him, she was already being seduced.
"Say it again?"
"Xie Linzhou wants to marry me, and I estimate he'll be coming to propose marriage in a few days."
Liu Yuelan and Song Dahai were dumbfounded. So, this was what Princess Jianing meant when she said they would be a family?
But when did this happen?
In their eyes, Xie Linzhou was eight years older than Song Ning, so he should be an elder, and they never thought of it that way.
I never heard of this when we were in Tianxiang County. How could you have fallen in love so soon after arriving in the capital?
She's fifteen this year. Two years ago, she was thirteen. You beast!
He actually had this idea two years ago.
"Wait a minute, let your father and I calm down first."
The couple whispered, "So, the Duke's mansion wants to become in-laws with us?"
"Our daughter will be a general's wife from now on?"
Moreover, Xie Linzhou has not yet inherited the title of Duke of the State. If he does, he will become the future Duke of Rong. In addition, given Xie Linzhou's current military achievements, his future status in the court is self-evident.
Liu Yuelan and Song Dahai were certainly not ignorant of court affairs, but they also knew of Xie Linzhou's noble status.
Such a family is not a family like theirs to deserve.
Instead of joy, the couple began to worry.
"Er Ya, what...what are you thinking?"
The Duke's Mansion treated them very well, and they didn't want to speak ill of the Duke's Mansion or Xie Linzhou.
"Father, Mother, I've thought it over. Xie Linzhou is a good man. As long as we can live a good life together in the future, it doesn't matter who I marry."
It just so happens that Xie Linzhou also wants to marry me, which saves me the trouble of looking for someone else. It's great.
Moreover, Xie Linzhou is indeed quite outstanding. Although he is not old, he has made a lot of achievements. As the only son of the Duke's family, the mansion is clean and free from romantic entanglements and the filth of the inner quarters.
We'll talk about the future later, anyway, things are fine now.
Song Dahai and Liu Yuelan didn't know what to say, as they didn't know either.
"Father, Mother, don't worry, we've already agreed that if we have any children in the future, one of them will take my surname and carry on the Song family line."
